Implementation of the Capital Improvement Program <br />(CIP) and processing of subdivision maps often requires specialized skills, expertise, and <br />availability that are not always available in-house. Historically, the City has used on-call <br />consultants because agreements were already established and funding was available. The <br />City has also used project-specific consultants depending on the size and scope of each task. <br />All professional service agreements were authorized by the City Council with established terms <br />and maximum contract amounts. Six professional service agreements now require contract <br />amendments or new one-year contracts to allow consultants to continue providing <br />uninterrupted services. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />A brief description of each consultant contract and .the need for a new contract or extension is <br />provided below.
